Apparently the Google search engine in China not only limits results from certain keyword searches, such as "human rights" or "democracy," but also generate deceptive or misdirecting results. For example, those entering "Uygur" into the search box (a Muslim Turkic ethnic group in China that once maintained control over its own autonomous region) are misdirected to web pages about converting from Islam.

What is impressed me most about the dissidents' presentations was how they were using other visual and auditory technologies to get their message out. For example, one of the men on the panel showed a Powerpoint slide show that cannibalized material from Cisco PowerPoints, and the female speaker who followed talked about how her group's use of Podcasts created a "virtual town square" for civic discursive exchange.
